This Scene foreshadows the death of Brutus at Phillipi.

(Brutus) Ha, who comes here? I think it is the weakness of mine eyes that shapes this monstrous apparition. It comes upon me - Art thou any thing? Art thou some god, some angel, or some devil, that mak'st my blood cold and my hair to stare? Speak to me what thou art.
(Ghost) Thy evil spirit, Brutus.
(Brutus) Why Com'st thou?
(Ghost) To tell thee thou shalt see me at Phillipi.
(Brutus) Well, then I shall see thee again?
(Ghost) Aye, at Phillipi.
(Brutus) Why, I will see thee at Phillipi, then.
